St. Augustine's Custom House.

The st. Augustine Chronicle doesn't
like that provision Of the Breckenridge
bill which abolishes the custom house at
that port. 1t IS true that the expenses
Of maintaining it are greatly in excess OF
the receipts Of duties from imports, but
the Chronicle thinks that St. Augustine
could easily be made the great port OF
Florida, while Jacksonville, where Gus
tom house is to be maintained, can never
be made an important port, because its
bar cannot, in all probability, be sufti
GENTLY improved to admit deep draught
vessels. The Chronicle cannot under
stand why the Jacksonville custom house
is to be spared while that at ST. Augustine
is to be abolIshed.t II says: "By the re-
port Of the Jacksonville Board OF Trade
for 1886 it appears that the revenue from
imports collected at that port in 1885 was
$473 So. At that rate a single years in
terest at 10 per cent. on the 1915, 900 ex-
pended on the bar below that city would
absorb all the customs duties collected
there for $40 years"
10 comparing the advantages OF the
harbor at st. Augustine with those Of the
Jacksonville harbor it says: at is no.
toriOus fact that but for the large apprO-
priations made by Congress TO improve
it, the bar at the mouth Of the 81. Johns
would, even in mid channel, be covered
with stranded catfish OF large draught at
every low tide. Jacksonville Is forever
barrcaded against the invasion OF COM
merce from the sea by the accumulated
sand bars Of whole geological epoch.
The ocean gales have for ages been vote
ing the DEGREES OF fate against the mari
time supremacy Of any city on the ST.
Johns over Eastern Florida. The St.
Augustine bar, however, en- which not
one dollar has been expended, admits
vessels Of a draught almost as great as
does the st. Johns bar. Experienced
engineers, after thorough examination,
affirm that comparatively slight expense
would make 1t permanently passable for
the largest vessels"
81. Augustine, from this showing, has
pretty good ground of complaint. 1t GER
tainly has, as the Chronicle claims, about
the only harbOr for deep draught vessels
along 300 miles of the most dangerous
NDdob pii LiO AllduLiC sEdOOdIus DIDuE-
Cling is easy along that coast, owing
largely to the vicinity Of the Bahamas,
and it would seem to be necessary, in Or
der to prevent it, to maintain a custom
house, with the necessary force 10 guard
against smugging,a at st. Augustine. That
city is f1Ourishing one. Its population
is increasing rapidly, and it is without
doubt the most available ocean port tor
Central and South Florida. Whatever
may be the course OF Congress with
respect to Jacksonville, it would seem to
be a wise policy to improve the natural
advantages Of st. Augustine harbor, The
expenditure Of a comparatively small
amount would make that harbor an ex-
cellent one. The custom mouse there
would doubtless soon become self-sus-
tanning, and might soon yield the govern
ment a handsome revenue.

The Richt Kind of a Ecnnrt

The adverse report OF the House Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions on the Sen
ate bill granting a pension OF 81. GOO each
90 tho widows Of Gen. Logan and Gen.
Blair, will be very generally approved.
The Senate passed the bill without giving
it much consideration. There are SO
many millionaires among the Senators
that the Senate votes TO Increase the bur-
dens OF the people without proper ap-
probation OF what it is doing. Having
more money than they know what to do
with these rich men of the Senate lack
sympathy for the toilinV millions who find
it hard work to get bread for themselves
and their families. 1t would be much
wiser for them to reduce the taxes and
cheapen the necessaries OF life than 10
vote away the peoples money in pensions
TO those who do not need assistance.
The country has the very highest re-
spect for Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Blair, but
that 10 no reason why they should be given
an income of $4,000 year each out OF the
public Treasury. They are not In want
of anything. Indeed, they are both COM
DaratiVely rich. Their incomes are much
more than Sufficient TO support them in
comfort. But as we'll provided for as they
are it Is probable that there would
be no serious objection to granting each
OF them pension If it were MOI for the
fact that the granting OF pensions TO them
would become precedent for granting
penslQps to others. rho House Commit
tee points out that there are 2D5 major
generals and rear admirals whose widows
would have just as good a claim for a
$4,000 pension as Mrs. Logan and Mrs.
Blair have. II the Logan Blair bill were
to become a law,who would undertake to
say that the widows OF major generals
and rear admirals should not be treated
as generouslyf
The precedent which this bill would
establish would increase the annual
pension charge about $3j0,000. In fact,
IL might DO an entering wedge 10 open
the way TO a much greater increase than
that.
The committee did right in reporting
against the bill. The country under.
STANDS that 1t has no feeling hostile to
It's benehcIaries, but that IL was actuated
solely by desire to do what IS best for
the public good. The report takes the
same ground that was taken by the
